TCR-U/L-50 25/50 Watt UHF and L-Band RF Amplifier

The TCR-U/L-50 Power Amplifier (PA) evolved from the widely fielded TCR-MBA-50v2 to meet the demands for increased communication range of existing and emerging handheld and manpack radios utilizing UHF and L-Band waveforms. The PA is designed for use with UHF narrowband as well as UHF and L-Band wideband waveforms. It shares the same form and fit as the TCR-MBA-50v2 to support vehicular, airborne, maritime, man-portable, or fixed-station applications with user-configurable antenna ports.

Tricom Research leads the industry in performance and flexibility. The TCR-U/L-50 supports RS-485 and USB communications with end-user devices and optional Tricom accessories such as the Bias-Tee and Remote Face Plate. The intuitive menu driven user interface provides full local control and status via an NVG compatible display.
